well gizzmo, i got bad news man. i did actually get them from autolumination... maybe ist cheaper to have them shipped to me in the states. and its more since ur in canada. that is where you are right?

[McGuyver_3]

you can get these lights off of ebay type in 1206

LEDs you need

[Gizzmo_jr]

Na it's those special twist lock Neo-wedge (8mm/10mm/12mm) bulbs that you can get in LED form. I'll just bite the bullet I suppose on autolumination, unfortunately they seem to be the only good source for a LED converted one, rather then a replacement blue glass bulb.

[TYLERM7]

yea i wouldnt buy anything but LED. and to be honest with you man, i would fork up another $3.00 and buy three LED'S instead of two, incase you loose one, or drop one, or something, b/c it sucks really really bad having to do all that work for nothing! trust me!!!! haha

[silvermist99]

anyone tried white LED like the rx8. I think it'll be easier to read than blue.

How to for instrument cluster & radio
http://www.mazda3forums.com/index.php?topic=31367.0

Apparently there is a way to remove the heat/ac controls and change the color. On the back of the panel that let's the light through is just red/orange paint. People have just sanded it off, and replaced the white bulb with a blue led.

I don't know how, but there is a guide somewhere on m3f

[silvermist99]

new way of doing it.. sand the orange coat off the cluster

That would be sick but the lux has the blue lining outside. It would probably be a whole new different category no?

Didn't the Biz changed his cluster as well as radio leds to blue?

Instead of pestering the guys on this board with giving up their weekends, has anyone tried to just take the boards to an electronics store and getting them to do it? If they're pros, I can't see it taking more than two hours so it'll be $100 or so. Anyone tried? I'm all about tinkering but electrical scares me.

Sounds like a business that someone can do if they know their electronics 101. I myself am not comfortable with a soldering iron though I wish i was.
